The half-life of a nuclide is 737 hrs

Let the initial mass of nuclide is N° = 100

The final mass of nuclide after 407 hours

= 100 - 38 = 62

The expression for decay constant is

λ = 1/t ln(N°/Nt)

Substitute the given values and calculate the decay constant as,

λ = 1/407hr ln(100/62)

λ = 9.4 x 10^-4/hr

Now, the half-life is calculated as,

t1/2 = 0.693/λ

= 0.693/9.4 x 10^-4/hr

t1/2 = 737 hrs

Hence, the half-life of a nuclide is 737 hrs

Use technology and the given confidence level and sample data to find the confidence interval for the population mean muμ. Assum
Ronch [10]

Answer:

a.  μ_{95%} = 3 ± 1.8 = [1.2,4.8]

b. The correct answer is option D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

Explanation:

a. The population mean can be determined using a confidence interval which is made up of a point estimate from a given sample and the calculation error margin. Thus:

μ_{95%} = x_±(t*s)/sqrt(n)

where:

μ_{95%} = = is the 95% confidence interval estimate

x_ = mean of the sample = 3

s = standard deviation of the sample = 5.8

n = size of the sample = 41

t = the t statistic for 95% confidence and 40 (n-1) degrees of freedom = 2.021

substituting all the variable, we have:

μ_{95%} = 3 ± (2.021*5.8)/sqrt(41) = 3 ± 1.8 = [1.2,4.8]

b. The correct answer is option D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

Using the the Central Limit Theorem which states that regardless of the distribution shape of the underlying population, a sampling distribution of size which is ≥ 30 is normally distributed.

Humans did not create dogs.

Humans have never created any new living species.

A baseball is hit with a bat. The direction of the ball is completely reversed and its speed is doubled. If the actual contact w
alexdok [17]
Before the impact, let the velocity of the baseball was v m/s.

After being hit by the bat its velocity is -2v
So, change in velocity, Deltav=v-(-2v)=3v
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity, i.e. actual change in velocity divided by the time taken to change it. Time taken to change velocity is the time of actual contact of the bat and ball, i.e. 0.31 s.

a=(Deltav)/(Deltat)
=(3v)/0.37
Therefore, a/v=3/0.31=9.7 s^-1
So, the ratio of acceleration of the baseball to its original velocity is 9.7.
